thanks to everyone that replied to this topic.

I decided it made more sense to go to another vehicle entirely rather than attempt to push a square peg into a round hole.

I've had my RZ Camry since new (2017)

The "jarring ride" is due to this car having a "sports suspension"

This is part of the difference between the RZ and say the base model.

So whilst the turning circle is unchanged compared to the other Camry's and is still not great compared to say a Subaru Liberty of the same production period, it "hugs" the road better then other Camry's (of the same year model)

So it feels "less boaty", and more stable on the highway, especially at the higher speeds.... or so "I've heard" 😂

The SL is a completely different car, the last of the Australian built Camry's were in 2017,

They then "changed shape" a.k.a completely new car in 2017/2018 and these were built in Japan

The "SL" is part of the "new range" that is built in Japan

Changing tyres / having them inflated to the "correct" pressure may help, but on the whole and I'm not sure how else to put it....... but that's the "traits" of the car that you purchased.

As an aside, please ensure that you have been doing the "in-between" oil changes and using a full synthetic oil 🙂 

So depending on your budget, it may be time to change "rides", which if this is the case, check what your car is "going for" to see if trade in value or selling the car privately is the best option.

I hope that this helps 🙂

That makes a stack of sense to me. A year before I got the RZ I tried a 2018 SL and it was so smooth. I now wish I bought it!

I'll be trying out a few of the camry models now and avoiding all "sports" at all costs.

Thanks for the detail.

Cheers!

The 2017 Camry Altise is fitted with 16" wheels, according to Redbook. I do not know about clearance for the brake calipers.

If the brake calipers are the same across all 2017 Camry models, then you should be okay. Best to go to a tyre shop or wreckers and confirm that a 16" wheel will fit.

Thanks Campbeam, great advice. I'll ask a local tyre shop.

Hi Hiro, thanks for that suggestion. I was thinking the same. I wonder if 16" will feel even better again and if they have the clearance needed for the brakes etc?

Hey Camry masters!

I've had this RZ for over a year now and do about 800kms per week in it so I'm looking for more comfort.

The ride is a bit jarring and I've test driven some SL's and they all feel more "limo like" in smoothness ... which is appreciated.

My maybe crazy idea would be to get a set of SL shocks of the same year and swap them in for better ride comfort.

Is that even possible? Are there any Camry mechanics that can tell me that they are all the same config just different ride comfort levels and the swap is a good idea?

Alternately... is it time to just trade it for a car already built for comfort?

I even bought thick sheepskin seat covers to no avail.

All help and answers appreciated.

Cheers
